| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a boldly struck field entirely occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in Naskh script, naming the ruler Sultan Ismail with the regnal date 1166 AH. The calligraphy is rendered in high relief, characteristic of late Safavid hammered coinage, with overlapping strokes typical of the period. The legend is enclosed within a dotted inner border that follows the irregular flan edge. The flat, granular field shows the natural surface texture of a hammered gold flan. No figurative motif is present, consistent with Islamic numismatic tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ismail III was never a ruling shah in any meaningful sense — installed in 1750 by the Zand chief Karim Khan as a puppet sovereign, he provided Karim Khan's regime with a veneer of Safavid legitimacy while holding no actual power. Coins were struck in his name precisely because they had to be; omitting a shah's name would have exposed the fiction entirely.
By 1753 the Safavid line had been reduced to a political prop. Ismail III would be quietly set aside by 1760, after which Karim Khan simply ruled as Vakil — regent of the realm — without the pretense.
